Match: Gorgrims Gridiron Gits 1—2 Har Ganeth Horrors

In an exciting finale of epic proportions the Gridiron Gits and the Horrors faced off for all the Tavernbowl Glory. During the first half the Gits scored and prevented the Horrors from making an answering touchdown. The Horrors made a slow play to the endzone in the second, paying a heavy cost with the death of assassin Mirlon Voidshadow and a bad tumble for Celas Hellstriker that removed him from the pitch for the duration of the game. As the match entered sudden death overtime the Gits kicked to the Horrors and quickly leveraged their man advantage to steal away the ball. In a flashy display of skill and luck, witch elf Lasah Darkgrip used her expertise in stripping the ball free from another's hold to knock the ball back to the pitch allowing Kaner Wildeye to scoop it up and pelt down the field toward a winning touchdown. Kaner's celebration was cut short when he was knocked prone by a brutal blitz, but the ball was too far downfield for the gits to properly cover it. Kaner recovered the ball and made his way into the endzone to seal a win for the Horrors and sponsor Moctezuma's Tequila, offering a parting salute to the Gits and their coach Blake for a well fought match.

The Slayas made a valiant attempt to tie things up with a goblin toss, but Snac Smallfeets lost his footing just as he was crossing into the end zone, leaving the final score 2-1 in an otherwise very close game.

Match: Da Grey Ghostz 0—2 Leaf Us Ent-ertain Yew

Match: Gorgrims Gridiron Gits 2—1 Leaf Us Ent-ertain Yew

16 thousand fans saw the Leafs took the opening kick, stretched the G3 defense, and Poplar Knot hits a wide open Willow Barker down the middle for a quick turn 2 TD.

The next four turns, the Gits caged up and ground down LUEY with 2 KOs and a casualty, with Blarg Rokkhand eventually finding a seem and pushing the ball across the goal line.

The Gits pulled off some greenskin trickery on the ensuing kickoff, blitzing and recovering the kickoff, but the Leafs held on until halftime, suffering only one more casualty.

The second half was a long slow grind with the G3 cage slowly advancing while the Wood Elves probed and prodded. Late in the half, the cage was unlocked, the ball was loose, and Seven Year Birch scooped the ball and attempted to bomb it into the Gits open backfield.

The blood-soaked ball slipped from his hands, bounced away, and Rugga the Loon took the opening to remove the Throwers spleen. The outmanned Leafs could not stop the last turn score by Blarg Rokkhand.

Match: Gorgrims Gridiron Gits 2—0 Da Grey Ghostz

It was a sweltering match between the triple g's and da grey ghosts. The hot index was well into the roasted halfling range and both mobs where chomping at the bit to duff each other up real good. The triple g's won the toss and elected to receive and the match was ago. As was expected when 2 groups of swarthy orks meet on the pitch there was immediately a massive scrum at the center of the field. The ball git was able to quickly cage up and avoid a solid boot to the cranium and form on the right side of the field. A solid back and forth bashing occurred in earnest for 4 turns when Blarg kunningly came upon the plan to get down the field and catch the ball. The ball git knowing it was either throw the rokk or get squelched followed through on this brilliant stratagem and by the end of turn 6 the first td of the game was on the books. Not to be discouraged the grey ghosts took to the pitch to try and score one of there own with there 3 turns remaining unfortunately with the tavern brew flowing 2 players failed to make it to the pitch and so the half ended with a large scrum and no ball movement. As the second half kickoff began the weather went from molten halfing to gentle breeze and many sighs where heard across the stadium. And so the players lined up, the triple gs full strength and the ghosts recovered there 2 drunken louts but unfortunately another ork was found to have a weak constitution and could be seen dozing in reserve. The ghosts secured the kick and began to form a cage and position themselves for a push downfield. The triple g's had different plans and with a roar Drokka the Red shattered the hip of Thromka and the G's began pushing the Ghosts across the pitch. 2 Turns later and Rugga the loon was able to get an opening to krump the ball out of the ghosts control and Blarg smelling a new orkdidas contract scooped the ball off the turf. With solid movement from his supporting goons Blarg was in the clear and in the promised land for the second time that game. With the lead effectively secured the teams lined up on the pitch and the G's hungered for a bloodbath. With clever positioning and good ball management the Ghosts where able to stop any more blood from flowing and the time ran out. Hands where shaken and stretchers moved and Mvps where chosen with Iron Knuckle and Rugga the loon taking home the game time award. Rugga and Blarg would have some additional training between matches this week and would come back improved the next week. Money was given out to both teams though not much, what with the recent squig embargo affecting most ork teams profit margins. In this humble Grots opinion it looks like Gorgrim Goldtoofs snap decision to found a team is looking very kunning in hindsight.

Match: Cryptkickers 3—0 Seattlean Chickenhawks

“By all the moldy bones in the Dead Sea”,exclaimed famous Deadite Coach Gibbie Bonewrench as he observed the pouring rain. It matched his mood which was foul indeed. For the 2nd week in a row his boys were facing another elf team. Is there no end to these pointy eared baby-stealers? As the game progressed, it was clear things were working differently this week. Whatever miserable funk that had infected his team last week seemed to have spread to the Chickenhawks. Nuffle giveth and taketh away.

Match: Cryptkickers 3—2 Gutters Edge

It was moments before the game, when famous Deadite Coach Gibbie Bonewrench looked acrossed the field into the shiny, black, beady eyes of the Gutters Edge coach; such a dirty rat with his smug grin. It didn’t matter how many centuries Gibbie lived he would never know how he could despise someone so much and yet have so much respect for his coaching. The game lived up to the hype. Score tried 2-2 late in the 2nd half with the werewolf Blood Moon III driving a few squares from the end zone. Blitzer Stich Roundhouse made a beautiful block and the ball was on the pitch. Then deja vu washed over Gibbie like a tsunami when Ghost Whisker raced over to the ball ready to deliver another miracle play. Gibbie could feel the beady eyes of the Gutters Edge Coach staring at him; with his smug smile knowing his megastar was ready to deliver a brilliant play. Ghost Whisker reached down and... and.....and fumbled the ball away. Blood Moon III sent Ghost crowd surfing. Cryptkickers recovered and scored. Gibbie thought to himself, “ Look whose wearing the smug smile now.”

Match: Valhallan Violators 2—0 The mighty dorcs

Match: Cryptkickers 4—0 Storybrooke

Famous Deadite coach Gibbie Bonewrench was in shock. Everything....had.....went...perfectly. If he still dreamed, if his skin could feel anything, he would have pinched himself. He knew his team was pumped for a little payback since Storybrooke had bounced them out of the play-offs last season. The zombies actually moaned when reminded of the loss. Yep, that loss had actually imprinted on the zombies. When his boys needed to dodge, they dodged. When needed to block, they blocked. They just did it all. Coach Gibbie knew not to get too high. Everyone knows Nuffle gives and takes away. The one thing he did know was Storybrooke would rebound and was still a very real threat.

Match: Seattlean Chickenhawks 1—2 Cryptkickers

Famous Deadite coach Gibbie Bonewrench knew his team needed to get it done;starting the season 0-0-2 and the upstart Chickenhawks were an impressive 2-0. Thankfully, the Chickenhawks blew what look like a sure fire tackle preserving a scoring drive for the Cryptkickers. Then elven shenanigans began. Last turn of the half Blitzer Steve La’ Gent would not be denied. He whirled, dodged, ducked and twisted through multiply multiplayer tackle zones only to pick up the ball and do it all over again getting out and free to throw the game tying TD. Coach Gibbie just shook is head; dang that was impressive. The second half saw the Cryprkickers causing a fumble and returning it for a score. Finally. Finally. The Cryptkickers were in the win column. Coach Gibbie Bonewrench smiled briefly. Those fans that saw it could not sleep well that night; feeling like a shadow had passed over their grave.

Match: Rook Island Reapers 0—3 The mighty dorcs

In an unexpected bit of mayhem the dorcs started in early with a bloodthirsty attitude. Zfter a quick return to the line of scrimage mike stepped on a mine and opened a hole in the line of scrimmage for the dorcs thrower to dart past. Julian pushed him over but after a short bout of bloodshed the dorcs recovered the ball for the late firsthalf touch down. The second half got even bloodier as the dorcs smashed the reapers against the sidelines and ran the ball back for a second td only to follow it up quickly with another. Against the 5 reapers left on the field.

Match: Gutters Edge 1—2 Seattlean Chickenhawks

Well fans what on paper looked to be a high scoring affair here at Chickenhawk stadium quickly took on a much slower grind it out match-up in which the fans had a significant impact. On the opening kickoff, a well placed rock from the stands knocked out skaven star Ghost Whisker so hard that he would not return for the whole match. After trading turnovers the Skaven would draw first blood by scoring late in the first half, however they left enough time for the home team to actually draw even just before halftime. It was the skaven kickoff after their touchdown that the fans really let their ire show when a second rock outright killed the lineman An as he waited in position. The fans would also be involved later in the second half when gutter runner Creepy Crawly was thrown into their midst, injuring him enough that he will miss the next skaven match. With the chickenhawks gaining numbers on the skaven the winning touchdown would be scored on the next to last play of the game, sending the young upstart Chickenhawks to a surprising 2-0-0 start on the new season. The 12th man really showed up today was all the head coach had to say after the match.

Match: Running plainsmen 1—1 Cryptkickers

Famous Deadite coach Gibbie Bonewrench took a swig of his drink and spit it out. It had become tepid. This was the same way he would describe his team's play. Between the rapid turnaround and the lingering loss of Blood Moon last game; all which seemed to have left the team flat. The Running Plainsmen where up to their old field reversing ways. Taking the ball away from the Cryptkickers at 2 squares from the goal line and then sprinting down and scoring first. The Cryptkickers were able to return the favor in the 2nd half. Then that was that. Neither team was able to maintain any sense of momentum. This was the second tie in a row for the Cryptkickers. Tepid.

Match: Gutters Edge 3—3 Cryptkickers

Wow! That was a heck of a game Cotton. 6 TDS. 8 Casualties. Both teams have their sights set on the playoffs and both teams responded. Famous Deadite Coach Gibbie Bonewrench had nothing but praise for the Gutters Edge star Gutter Runner Ghost Whisker.He truly is the kind of talent you see once a century. All Gutters Edge TDS were scored by Ghost. Not only that, he threw the long odds blitz block the caused a turnover and positioned himself in the end zone to catch the go ahead third TD. That's right, he was the beginning and end to the Gutters Edge miracle play. Earlier a titanic struggle occurred mid-field between Werewolf Blood Moon and the Rat Ogre Bam Bam. Frenzied Blood Moon already had two casualties and was looking for more when he was blind-sided blitzed by Bam Bam. The vicious howls and snarls drowned out all other sounds. Fur and fury filled the pitch. But in the end only the mighty Bam Bam rose from the field. One foolish fan screamed, "Is that a tear on Gibbie's face?" He was promptly blasted with dark necromantic energy and blinked into oblivion. Then the rain began. Moon Brother Lonnie C. used his raw emotional pain to power into the end zone on turn 8 to tie the game 3-3. That was for you Blood, that was for you.
